Has anyone else, who takes their meds religiously, every few weeks or months, still think of suicide? The only way i can stop them is pray for help. Remembering promises made and who it would devastate. Or is it just me?

Not just you.

You should call your pdoc tomorrow. You should not be having these kinds of thoughts. They are nothing to be ashamed of, but there's no need to suffer.

Besides, it only takes a second to act on an impulse. If you cannot get into your pdoc tomorrow, you should go to the ER. ((((((((Hugs)))))))))

Tim, your not alone here. I still have those feelings sometimes. If it wasnt for the pain it would cause my mother I would probably have went thru with it. I guess there is such a thing as angels.

I don't necessarily think of suicide, I just think of how tiring it is to be alive.

I am right with on this one!

We are in this together now.

I've never attempted it, but I've always felt it would end my chaos. But then again, we have to think, we are lucky to just be alive at times.

Hey, how are things? First thing I hate too say but this is taboo thing to talk about here. I have Bipolar I, and have had this problem before myself. Just a suggestion: go see your psychiatrist, just some advice. I have a VA doctor that helps me. I would never go off my meds don't want to go there.

Your not alone, they still haunt me every so often....If you are having these thoughts get help now.

I think these thoughts are part of the illness. What is bad. You go to the doc, they give you a prescription for this. The pharmacy is out, it snows the med hasn't come in due to bad weather. I don't think the doc is always the answer because shit like this happens. You have to use your coping skills. I started crying this morning and went and took a hot shower. I have been using my xanax when I feel a mood coming on. I feel like I am going to crawl out of my skin. When the thought enters my head I think I did the right thing everything is out of my control now.
